Canada Vs. U.s.

January 29, 2002

A recent letter writer has incorrect tax info about Canada. A renowned accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche, provided me with a tax schedule for 2001. The rates vary from province to province. Ontario rates show a combined federal and provincial tax for a "single" person with taxable income of $30,000 amounting to $5,014, hardly equal to your maximum rate.

I do not have sufficent evidence or facts as to his medical comments. I do understand that at least 40 million Americans have no coverage, therefore are indigent patients for doctors and/or hospitals. No Canadian is without coverage, at little or no cost.
